NOR DESPERATE MARAUDERs.

This constitutes perfect security from any
thing beyond highway robbery for a traveller
far in the interior. No brigand band can take
the risk or afford the time to send to the coast
for problematical ransom. Besides, it must
be remembered that they have never had ga =

"record' in Asia Minor, and the average docs
not run above the half Of that figure Still
Gt may be objected there is the unpleasant
possibility of highway robbery alike for the
stranger and native traveller. Hardly SO, once
again. The Asatic brigand, if not coward,
is at least a cautious and calculating robbcr.
Like an English burglar he needs full pre-
limary information, plenty Of time for laying
his plans and account and mulating all tho
advantages on his own side. He has no desire
to run up against Il bullet if it can be avoided,
and European travellers have the reputation of
being well armed and shooting straight. It is

Increase of Brlgandage in the OF
tOnan Empire.
A COUNTRY INFESTED BY MARAUDERs.
From the London TELEGRAPH.

From the London telegraph.
The dominions of Abdul Hamid is vexed at
this moment by two especial evils, not wholly
unconnected, and, for different reasons, not
easily combatted in the present condition Of
at1airs-a daily increasing famine of and a
violent access of brigandage. 1t is easy to SCI
how the latter might be but consequence of
the former, and, as matter of fact, the ter
rlble scarcity south OF the Taurus has driven
many of the ordinary peaceful peasants of tho
vilayet of Adana to take the road within the
last few months, and probably many more will
yet follow their example during the bitter
interval which must elapse before next years

SAFETY IN ASIA MINOR.
1t is the almost universal impression in the
west of Europe that no one with anything to
lose can vunture five miles outside Turkish
town, that an Englishman is marked every
where for prey, that the Turkish police is n
farce, that the brigand is bold rover who
will snatch his prey at all hazards and against
any odds. And yet at least three-fourths of
the Turkish empire is as safe as Hampstead
hearth throughout the huge central plateau of
Asia Minor any crime except tobacco SNUG
Cling is almost unknown. Last year only,
when the ragged Greek army was demobiliZed
at the instance of the powers, brigands were
said to exist near Angora. Here and there a
Circassian or a l<urd steals horse or two and
gives the zaptiehs temporary employment, but
such thing as organized brigandage is as UNI
known rs in the Scotch mountains, and this is
true even in the great trade routes-such rs
that from Konia to Afioun Kara Hissar, where
the wild recesses of the Sultan Dagh would
afford cover enough for any number of enter
prising marauders. A more peaceful and law
abiding peasantry does not exist than the
ordinary villagers of Asia Minor, and the
traveller of any nation may wander as he
pleases among their valleys and plains, and be
as sure of his horse, his arms and his money, as
anywhere i'll Europe. Some exception must,
however, be made for Crcassans, in spite Of
frequent favorable experience of them, for a
fine horse or good Weapons a sore temptation
to these gentry, and they entertain little res
pect for constituted authorityas welded by the
Turks, by whom many stories are told of the
persistence and cunning of a people infinitely
more enterprsing and more handy than them
selves.

HABTrATIoN OF BRIGANDAGE.
The brigand proper confines his habitat in
Asia to the neighborhood of the coast and the
railways. He limits his active operations as
rule to the summer months, when the leaves
are on the trees and he has the maximum of
cover, and, if not taken by the 2aptiehs during
the season, subsidies again in winter into tho
peaceable agriculturst unless like Andrea,
he be of peculiar eminence i'll the profession.
The nCighborhood of Smyrna and of the Otto
man railway, rs far as Adm, is the most in
tested, and long country walks arc not much
INDUCED in by residents at Bondja, Bourhabat
or Sedikewy. At Ephesus II party is always
safe, but solitary individual might be mo-
Tested once in n hundred visits. As has been
said above, it is usually imagined i'll England
that European travellers are in especial danger
of being caught and held up for ransom This
is, or was, undoubtedly SO in Macedonia for
special reasons, but in Asia the contrary seems
to be the case, and natives only seem to be
sought after. In the first place Asia is Gull
adesac, a large one doubtless, but still without
any such secure exit as tho Macedonian bril-
gand has ready to hand over the Greek from
tier. If the Turkish authorities would ex-
pend time and money they could clear every
brgand out of Asia Minor in these days of
passable roads, of Zaptiehs, and, above all,
of telegraphs, and the brigands themselves
know the insecurity of their position. Con-
| sequently they win not willingly provoke tho
man-hunt which can so easily DO instituted
| and which would be pressed on with far
greater resistance and energy at the instance
of an irate consul general with shp-of-war

the suspicious viliager probably has many
doubts as to the strangers ransom being forth
coming. He knows natives means and
belongings, and how to bring the necessary
pressure to bear Net so in the case of an Eu-
ropean represented only by his consul, and it
is for this reason that, while European natives
